Everything is likely to come to you effortlessly! The entire month is really positive for you!
If you are born with Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio, or Sagittarius as sidereal ninefold ascendant, and if Jupiter and Saturn reside in the first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house in your birth chart then you are likely to face serious challenges, misfortunes during this month.

Gemini being air and cardinal sign, expect lot of confusion in communication area, especially during the time Mercury is retrograde. For those who have Gemini rising in their ninefold birth chart are most likely to experience these symptoms.
